Hobby Farm Dreamin'

For those of you who dream of homesteading, or just having a hobby farm, like me, here's a few good links to keep ya dreamin' on these cold January days...

(for those of you who are only dreaming, and don't have it yet, think how nice it is that you don't have to trudge out to break water on cold, fridgid mornings for the chickens, or muck out frozen manure from goat stalls *U*)

Well, that's enough for awhile, huh?

Don't forget, there's also:

barn cats

farm dogs

geese

ducks

(both the former I do not care for- they muck up the water buckets daily! Then the other animals suffer or drink poopy water. ugh)

llamas

alpacas

Dairy cows/cattle

and LOTS more *U*
